Harvest

My life is changing in so many ways
I don't know who to trust anymore
There's a shadow running thru my days
Like a beggar going from door to door.

I was thinking that maybe i'd get a maid
Find a place nearby for her to stay.
Just someone to keep my house clean,
Fix my meals and go away.

A maid. a man needs a maid.
A maid.

It's hard to make that change
When life and love turns strange.
And old.

To give a love, you gotta live a love.
To live a love, you gotta be "part of"
When will i see you again?

A while ago somewhere i don't know when
I was watching a movie with a friend.
I fell in love with the actress.
She was playing a part that i could understand.

A maid. a man needs a maid.
A maid.

When will i see you again?

I want to live,
I want to give
I've been a miner for a heart of gold.
It's these expressions i never give
That keep me searching for a heart of gold
And i'm getting old.
Keeps me searching for a heart of gold
And i'm getting old.

I've been to hollywood
I've been to redwood
I crossed the ocean for a heart of gold
I've been in my mind, it's such a fine line
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold
And i'm getting old.
Keeps me searching for a heart of gold
And i'm getting old.

Keep me searching for a heart of gold
You keep me searching for a heart of gold
And i'm getting old.
I've been a miner for a heart of gold.

Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.
Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.

Old man look at my life,
Twenty four and there's so much more
Live alone in a paradise
That makes me think of two.

Love lost, such a cost,
Give me things that don't get lost.
Like a coin that won't get tossed
Rolling home to you.

Old man take a look at my life i'm a lot like you
I need someone to love me the whole day through
Ah, one look in my eyes and you can tell that's true.

Lullabies, look in your eyes,
Run around the same old town.
Doesn't mean that much to me
To mean that much to you.

I've been first and last
Look at how the time goes past.
But i'm all alone at last.
Rolling home to you.

Old man take a look at my life i'm a lot like you
I need someone to love me the whole day through
Ah, one look in my eyes and you can tell that's true.

Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.
Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.

Slipping and sliding and playing domino
Lefting and then righting, it's not a crime you know.
You gotta tell your story boy, before it's time to go.

Are you ready for the country because it's time to go?
Are you ready for the country because it's time to go?

I was talkin' to the preacher, said god was on my side
Then i ran into the hangman, he said it's time to die
You gotta tell your story boy, you know the reason why.

Are you ready for the country because it's time to go?
Are you ready for the country because it's time to go?

Did i see you down in a young girl's town
With your mother in so much pain?
I was almost there at the top of the stairs
With her screamin' in the rain.

Did she wake you up to tell you that
It was only a change of plan?
Dream up, dream up, let me fill your cup
With the promise of a man.

Did i see you walking with the boys
Though it was not hand in hand?
And was some black face in a lonely place
When you could understand?

Did she wake you up to tell you that
It was only a change of plan?
Dream up, dream up, let me fill your cup
With the promise of a man.

Will i see you give more than i can take?
Will i only harvest some?
As the days fly past will we lose our grasp
Or fuse it in the sun?

Did she wake you up to tell you that
It was only a change of plan?
Dream up, dream up, let me fill your cup
With the promise of a man.
